Accessing push notifications

Tutorial

Setting up role-based access to push notifications.

Background

Roles govern HTTP access to the REST API endpoints in DreamFactory. When you set up access to a push notification service in the 'Services' tab, no push notification endpoints are accessible by default (unless you are a DreamFactory Admin).

You can give access to a push notification service by following the example below. Note that Amazon SNS is currently supported. More push notification services will be supported in the future.

Example - Enable HTTP access to Amazon SNS.

1. Log into the DreamFactory admin console as an Admin.

2. Click on 'Roles' > 'Create'.

3. In the 'Access' tab, select SNS for 'Service' (or whatever name you gave to your SNS connection in the Services tab), * for 'Component' (* simply denotes access to all SNS endpoints), HTTP verbs for 'Access', and API for 'Requestor'.
